Ingredients
Scale
Turkey Tenderloin
- 1.5 pound turkey tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into pats
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby creamer potatoes, halved
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Cut the baby creamer potatoes in half and place them evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker to form a base layer for the turkey.
- Season Turkey: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme leaves, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mixture thoroughly on all sides of the turkey tenderloins to ensure full flavor coverage.
- Assemble in Crockpot: Lay the seasoned turkey tenderloins on top of the potatoes inside the slow cooker. Distribute the pats of butter evenly over the turkey to add richness and moisture during cooking.
- Cook: Cover and cook on high for 2.5 to 3.5 hours or on low for 3.5 to 4 hours. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model and turkey thickness.
- Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the turkey and potatoes. Let the turkey rest briefly before slicing and serve alongside the roasted potatoes for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F for safe consumption.
- Cooking time may vary; use a meat thermometer to check doneness rather than relying strictly on times.
- You can add additional vegetables like carrots or onions to the pot for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Butter adds richness; for a lighter option, use olive oil or omit entirely.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
